disappeared in the crowd at the

of the man who had so
freely commended my cause, the fol-
lowing:
Accept my thanks in the name of
all women, for your kind and gener-
Gus defense of them, also allow me to
comment the spirit of justice in your
self. Would that all men could real
ize how much higher place they would
occupy in the minds of all women
good or bad, if they did but bear in
mind, that their duty to women and
themselves is to be ever courteous and
true, to all, simply because they are
women. Yours most kindly,

In view of the fact that large ma
jority of the Republican newspapers OF
the country urged the President not to
sign the Dependent Pension bill and
that indeed, with the single exception
ofthe Clam agents Olcn, nearly every
Republican journal of national prom
inence has denounced the measure as
an act of spoliation, the course of Mr..
Blaine mouthpiece about that measure
is extraordinary. But the truth is
that the Tribune has become so used
to argument by epithet that it cannot
feel at home in any discussion Of
American politics without raising the
old Blaine cry about 1.-The rebel yell.

Its intent.
s2I' N6,oO0' Tor use in the coast de-
lenses. was passed by the Senate on
Monday, and has been referred to the
House committee on appropriations.
1t is believed that the bill will meet
with vigorous opposition at the hands
of the committee, but in view Of the
public interest that has been manifest
ed, some action, either favorable or
adverse. may be expected upon the
bill.
The President gave the last official
reception of the season on Thursday
evening in honor ofthe army and navy.
As is usual at all entertainments where
the brilliantly uniformed defenders of
the country are the principal guests,
the attendance was large. The crowd
was equally as great. and it is said to
have been even more select than the
first entertainment Of the season, which
was given in honor of the Diplomatic
Corps. Unusual individual interest
was given to the occasion by the return
Of the hostess Of last season, Miss Rose
Elizabeth Cleveland, to the scene of
her many pleasant social triumphs.
and for the first time since Mrs. Cleve-
and has been mistress of the White
House she shared popular attention
with another. The entertainment was
veritable full-dress parade. The
glitter aud show of many uniforms,
combined with the rich dresses Of the
ladies, and elaborate floral decorations,
made scene that for variety in color
is seldom equaled. Miss Cleveland
held her reception back of the line in
the blue room.
twenty-five personal friends occupied
seats in the ladies private gallery Of
the Senate chamber during the occasion
of the delivery of eulogistic addresses
upon the late Senator on Wednesday.
The galleries were crowded, and long
before the hour set for the opening of
the session every seat had been taken.
The proceedings were both interesting
and impressive Each Senator present
awaited himself of the opportunity
afforded him Of paying his last Fad
tribute to the memory of the illustrious
statesman.
But sixteen working days remain to
the present Congress, and thirteen Of
the fourteen annual appropriation bills
are as yet not ready to be transmitted
to the President. Ten of these await
the action Of the Senate; nine require
the action of Senate committees; five
have not yet passed the House, and
two have not been reported from the
House committees.
The Presidents veto of the depen-
dent pension bill on Friday last has
since been the principal topic discussed
in political circles. Opinions differ
widely upon the question as to the
probable political effect of the Presi.
dents action. The Republicans gen.
orally claim that it will afford them
an opportunity for the manufacture
of political capital, while the Demo-
Gratis claim that public sentiment will
approve of the course taken by the
President. 81.
